Cybergrind

Cybergrind is a genre mixing Electronic and Grindcore. Bands that play this style make use of synths, computers, and drum machines in addition to the usual guitars and bass, while some bands use synths, MIDI files, and drum machines exclusively.

Many Cybergrind bands tend to have little to no influence or relation to metal. Japan's Catasexual Urge Motivation formed in 1992 is generally considered the first Cybergrind group with a drum machine nicknamed Cyber E.M.F. Other notable Cybergrind bands include the United States Agoraphobic Nosebleed formed in 1994, and Australia's The Berzerker formed in 1995.

AGORAPHOBIC NOSEBLEED Split Seven Inch Record

Split · 1998 · Cybergrind
Cover art Buy this album from MMA partners
UMUR
"Split Seven Inch Record" is a split release between US, Nevada based hardcore/grindcore act Gob and US, Massachusetts based grindcore act Agoraphobic Nosebleed. The split was released through Bad Card Records in 1998.

The split features 10 tracks and a total playing time of 7:01 minutes. Agoraphobic Nosebleed are featured with 7 tracks and Gob are featured with 3 tracks. Stylistically the Agoraphobic Nosebleed material is powerviolence/grindcore while the Gob tracks are dissonant and chaotic sounding hardcore/grindcore.

The Agoraphobic Nosebleed tracks are worth a listen and they are quite interesting because they are from a very short period of their career when they adopted an ultra aggressive powerviolence style, which is pretty different from the grindcore style they are usually known for. The Gob tracks are a bit hard on the ears and a difficult listen, and I´m not sure who the audience is.

Upon conclusion "Split Seven Inch Record" is a decent split release and although my ears don´t agree to the sound of Gob, their music is still well performed. A 3 star (60%) rating is warranted.

AGORAPHOBIC NOSEBLEED Directions In Music By Cattle Press / Agoraphobic Nosebleed

Split · 1997 · Cybergrind
Cover art Buy this album from MMA partners
UMUR
"Directions In Music" / Agoraphobic Nosebleed" is a split release between US New York sludge/hardcore act Cattle Press and US, Massachusetts based grindcore act Agoraphobic Nosebleed. The split was released through Bovine Records in 1997. It features around 15 minutes of music from both artists, and features 24 tracks and a total playing time of 31:17 minutes.

The 6 Cattle Press tracks are aggressive and heavy sludge/hardcore and often sounds like the most savage and raw Eyehategod releases (minus the stoner metal element). It´s pretty far removed from the heavy and brutal post-hardcore sound Cattle Press would play on their 2000 debut full-length studio album "Hordes to Abolish the Divine" only a few years down the line, but it´s consistent in style with the other minor releases from Cattle Press during their early years.

The 18 Agoraphobic Nosebleed tracks are high velocity, noisy, and aggressive grindcore. It´s like being put through a grinder. It´s such an intense and chaotic listening experience that it´s impossible not to have some sort of reaction listening to it. Personally I think they´ve released much better material, but this is still decent grindcore featuring drum programming.

30 minutes of music is quite a lot for a split release, and if that shouldn´t be a selling point in itself (which it of course shouldn´t if the music was shit...), especially the Cattle Press part of the split is worth the price of admission. A 3 star (60%) rating is warranted.

AGORAPHOBIC NOSEBLEED PCP Torpedo

EP · 1998 · Cybergrind
Cover art Buy this album from MMA partners
UMUR
"PCP Torpedo" is an EP release by US, Massachusetts based grindcore act Agoraphobic Nosebleed. The EP was released through Hydra Head Records in 1998. Agoraphobic Nosebleed formed in 1994 and they released a demo, an EP, and a couple of splits before releasing "PCP Torpedo".

"PCP Torpedo" is by far the most professional and well produced release from Agoraphobic Nosebleed up until then. The previous releases all featured quite different grindcore styles (and even a tour into powerviolence on the split with Laceration), but "PCP Torpedo" sounds like a more mature release, and if you´re familiar with some of the subsequent material by the band, this EP sounds closer to that style than anything which came before. It´s ultra aggressive grindcore with both raw snarling hardcore vocals and deeper growling death grunts, and there are surprisingly varied riff- and rhythm styles featured on the EP.

10 tracks and a total playing time of 6:23 minutes (all tracks seque into each other so the EP almost feels like one long but strangely abrupt song). It´s all over before you know it, but there are so many different, powerful, and interesting songwriting ideas within those few minutes and "PCP Torpedo" is overall a high quality grindcore release from Agoraphobic Nosebleed. This is the point where they began to show excellence...a 3.5 star (70%) rating is deserved.

AGORAPHOBIC NOSEBLEED Agoraphobic Nosebleed / Laceration

Split · 1997 · Cybergrind
Cover art Buy this album from MMA partners
UMUR
"Laceration / Agoraphobic Nosebleed" is a split release between US, Alabama based hardcore act Laceration and US, Massachusetts based grindcore act Agoraphobic Nosebleed. The split was released through Satan's Pimp Records in 1997.

The split features 7 Laceration tracks and stylistically it´s pretty simplistic and aggressive hardcore. The tracks are short (all 7 are done playing in around 3 minutes), featuring organic and slightly sloppy playing, and a raw shouting vocalist in front. It´s not the most unique or the most interesting hardcore I´ve heard in this genre, but it´s decent enough.

Agoraphobic Nosebleed also deliver 7 tracks, and there´s a powerviolence edge to their grindcore style which I haven´t heard on any of their preceding releases. It´s actually pretty interesting how different their early releases sound. They deliver an ultra aggressive powerviolence attack and especially the vocals are caustic and hateful. On top of the fast-paced, chaotic sounding hardcore/grindcore it´s a powerful and effective combination.

Upon conclusion it´s the Agoraphobic Nosebleed part of the split that´s worth the price of admission. The Laceration part isn´t bad, but it´s not great either. A 3 star (60%) rating is warranted.

AGORAPHOBIC NOSEBLEED Agoraphobic Nosebleed / Enemy Soil

Split · 1997 · Cybergrind
Cover art Buy this album from MMA partners
UMUR
"Enemy Soil / Agoraphobic Nosebleed" is a split release between US, Virginia based grindcore/hardcore act Enemy Soil and US, Massachusetts based grindcore act Agoraphobic Nosebleed. The split was released through Bovine Records in 1997.

Enemy Soil are only featured with 3 tracks on the split, while Agoraphobic Nosebleed are featured with 10 tracks, but the latter´s tracks are very short, so the two artists pretty much divide the 8:45 minutes long playing time between them. Enemy Soil play a fast-paced hardcore (not quite grindcore) style with aggressive shouting vocals. It´s well played and effective, but nothing out of the ordinary for the genre.

Agoraphobic Nosebleed deliver their trademark caustic grindcore attack. It´s violent, noisy, and brutal grindcore played using drum programming. It´s a more varied split contribution than the band´s contibution to the 1997 split with Cattle Press, and this is pretty great grindcore entertainment while it plays.

So upon conclusion the split is worth a listen or two. It´s not the most well produced release, but it´s decent enough. A 3 star (60%) rating is warranted.
